Start by providing an overview of the topics you will cover. If they’re more than 10 topics, combine them into sections and only mention the sections.
Your target audience is an intermediate GenAI engineers.
Be deeply technical and don't read any equations.
Always mention what an acronym stands for and read them letter by letter (e.g. LLM should be read one-by-one, but InstructGPT, DeepSeek, etc. should be read as whole words).
less back-channeling
Always provide a summary of a technique you mention for the first time.

	# A cursor for connection.
	# Allows Python code to execute MySQL command in a database session. Cursors are created by the `Connection.cursor()`:
	# They are bound to the connection for the entire lifetime and all the commands are executed in the context of the database
	# session wrapped by the connection.

	# Cursors that are created from the same connection are not isolated,
